In the story "The most dangerous game " there are many different examples of human nature. One of these aspects are how the character Whitney feels sympathetic for the jaguars they were about to hunt. Other examples of human nature are how Rainsford climbs up the first boat he see's in the middle of the ocean after falling of his boat; Rainsford also smiles at the large man with the gun pointed at his heart im hopes that he might take that as a signal that he's a decent guy who means no harm. When Rainsford sets traps to slow down General Zaroff, and when he jumped into teh ocean, swam around o the boat and climbed on it to confront the Geneal, he was using his human insticts. In the end of the story, the protagonist sleeps in a bed. Just like a human.
